However, I believe, personally, that any good literature, or writer, touches individuals across race, time, gender, etc. Baldwin does this. He works on personal relationships and the struggle with race in Another Country. He tackles religion, and ultimately, he tells the truth in a profound way, especially in "Down at the Cross." Amazing that decades have passed through the hour glass and the statemnets that he put so eloquently still harm us today. I want my students to watch this. Thanks.

Blessings! Much respect! I am woman, but when I try to talk to the average black man he tries to take me around the corner...If I speak with intellect they by their time to see if they think that its about a game of sex...If I talk about JAMES BALDWIN, they look me up side my head and say, "WHO...THAT GAY NIGGA"...how far have come!?
A BLACK MAN CANT GET NO RESPECT, BECAUSE THE "WOM(B)MAN" tO WHICH he was born from DOESNT GET IT"
LOV U!
LOV YOUR MIND!

I've never commented on a video on youtube before. This is my first, and all I have to say is, ditto. Fantastic. Thank you. You expressed my heart and my experience. I am with you.

The true color of Blackness

@konbitkreyol Thanks. Yet it's just one color. We each have different hue to bring to blackness.
